You would have a hard time forcing people to vaccinate, while some would cave if a vaccine passport was required to enter social gathering places like restaurants, bars and theaters etc., many still would not. Mask mandates seem to work pretty well though in states that have them.
There are countries that have vaccine mandates at work and play, but they still struggle for compliance. And here, where it is mostly not a health thing but a political thing, it would be even harder to get people to comply.
One has to work with what one has got or reality comes to bite. We have a country where many have been led to believe vaccines are harmful and freedom means no vaccine.
OK. If you're not really going to advocate any restrictions that people don't like, there's no problem.

It's pretty easy to find anecdotes on it. No sweeping under the carpet. Perhaps you don't find big stats on it because it's not really happening much.
